FREE 230 Page Inbound and Content Marketing eBook from The Sales Lion

Recently, I passed 250,000 words here on TSL when you account for all the posts I’ve written over the past 2 years. Considering the average non-fiction book these days is about 50-75k words, that’s about 4 books worth of content, much of which newer readers will never go back and see.

Also, as the number of readers here has grown drastically in the past few months, more and more folks have been asking me if I had anything consisting of all my inbound/content marketing posts of months gone by. “Hmm” I thought, “I should really have that.” 🙂

It is for this reason that I recently broke out the greatest eBook writing tool ever, Anthologize (killer free plugin that allows you to combine, edit, and publish all your old posts as an eBook very easily), and brought together every article I’ve ever written on the subjects of inbound and content marketing.

When all was said and done, the eBook came out to be about 230 pages of killer tips, experiences, stories, and real-life application of marketing principles that are an absolute imperative for any business in the 21st century.

In fact, here are the chapters of the eBook:

Ch. 1: The Vision that is Inbound Marketing

Ch. 1.5: No excuses

Ch. 2: Blogging to Make Millions

Ch. 3: The Power of Video

Ch. 4: How to Build Amazing Community

Ch. 5: Using Your Content to SELL

Ch. 6: How to Find Writing Inspiration

Ch. 7: Writing and Communication Like a Champion

Ch. 8: All About Hubspot

Ch. 9: A Look at Other Advertising Mediums

Ch.10: Web Design that Wins

Ch. 11: A Little About Twitter

Ch. 12: Further Inspiration

Ch. 13: eBooks and other ideas

Who this eBook is For:

As you can see, if you own a business, or are in marketing, this eBook was created for you. There’s no bull. No fluff. No generalities or inapplicable grand ideas. This stuff is as real as it gets.

For those of you that have been in the community here for a while now, you’ll see many articles you’ve already read. You’ll also see many articles you missed. But because every article is separated and the eBook is well organized, it will be easy for you to jump around and find only the information you’re looking for.

And It Doesn’t Cost You a Dang Thing

Oh, and did I mention it was FREE?

Yep, free. Yours to have and do whatever you’d like with. (Although it’s my hope that you’ll take it to your boss or marketing VP and force that person at gun point to read it. 😉 )

Also, by downloading this eBook, you’ll be added to my Inbound and Content Marketing Newsletter list. This is only a once-a-month publication that is directed towards hard-core inbound/content marketers and will also have a segment on latest Hubspot news as well.

As always, if you just want the eBook but aren’t interested in receiving the newsletter, just opt out at your first opportunity, it’s not a big deal at all.

This Stuff Will Change Your Life

Here is the deal folks: Inbound marketing, content, and blogging have all changed my life…drastically. This ride I’ve been on has been unbelievable these past two years and I want you to see how it happened. I want you to see how I went from being a ‘pool guy’ to a professional speaker and business coach, not because I want to brag, but rather because you’ll hopefully see just how possible the same amount of success is available to you if you’ll just follow the principles herein.

Success is within each and every one of us. Inbound and content marketing are the greatest innovation the world of business has ever seen. So do yourself a favor and jump on board. Apply the principles. And watch the magic happen.

Questions or Comments?: Questions about the eBook or Anthologize? Feel free to ask whatever is on your mind friends and thank you all for your support!

I’ll probably be snagging this over the weekend and let my friend know as well because we’ll be setting up fresh freelancing websites (he’s never created one so I figure I’d help him through the process by showing him how to do it – win/win, imo).

He’ll be doing the work for his dad’s salon that he’s now working at and I’ll be doing it for freelance writing and web development since I’m moving out to Orlando and want to create a great business presence.

This is gonna come in handy; thanks for putting it together man!

Hey Marcus,

Congrats on putting this together. And of course thank you!

I’ll have to checkout that plugin. I was actually going to ask you about the process of putting the ebook together, but of course you covered that! At some point – when I can figure out some free time I’ll be joining the ebook brigade (maybe after football season and before my son’s basketball season starts). Anthologize sounds awesome and I’m going to start playing with that ASAP.

Look forward to the monthly updates. You know your stuff in this category and I see you as an authority for sure. So I really look forward to what you have to share.

The ebook is thorough man. THOROUGH! Congrats once again!

PEACE

Hey Marcus

Please tell more about ‘Anthologize.’ That sounds awesome! (And I already re-subscribed with a different email address to get the eBook last week! He he he).

Marcus Sheridan

You know what Paul, it seems like lots of folks would like to learn more about it. I’m going to whip up a post for Saturday as a follow up and maybe even do a video too. Thanks for inspiration brother! (BTW, I finally started ‘my list’. Are you proud of me?? 🙂 )

Marcus

October 6, 2011 at 2:03 pm

Marcus Sheridan

Appreciate that bud. I’m actually going to do a little follow up post because a bunch of folks have asked about Anthologize, so I think it will be a special ‘Saturday’ post this coming weekend.

Your support is amazing my friend.

Marcus

Marcus Sheridan

That’s simply awesome Murray. Let me know how it goes and if you need any more help my friend.

Peace brother,

Marcus

October 6, 2011 at 2:04 pm

paul wolfe

Yeah – I looked at the website and it seems fairly straightforward. Looks like a great tool.

And good work on the ‘list building’ – one of the most important steps you can take IMO.

Blessings back at you my friend,

For sure!

Lots of competition in the Orlando area for my business; my buddies business has a TON of potential because the few salons around the area don’t really have a web presence and if they do – they’re not really using it for inbound stuff.

Exciting times my friend!

I am in. Getting the book and then getting the plugin 🙂

Deb Augur

Hi Marcus!

That is SO COOL! I tried something like that a few months ago. I didn’t like the way mine turned out (it was a different service). I did think of creating it based on specific keywords (or categories) but by then I had wasted too much time on the thing. I meant to go back to it, but didn’t. LOL. Maybe I’ll try the plugin you used. Sounds easier.

I KNOW your ebook will be fantastic, so I’m going to take you up on your offer and download it. Awesome idea!

Congrats – and thanks for the content. While its nice to stumble around a site finding new posts, this format will be a delight for a nOOb. Quick q — I see that you work with aweber … thought process behind that? I guess the logical alternative could have been mailchimp.

October 6, 2011 at 11:18 pm

Adam Toporek

Marcus,

How very cool of you! Thanks for collecting and organizing your expertise in a handy package. I see we are already starting to see the fruits of your new schedule — awesome.

Will be signing up right now, and bookmarking that plugin!

Congrats on the ebook! I know it will be a great success.

Marcus, you’re a top chap for collating such valuable content in one resourceful e-book. It IS what we need and boy is it bumper? I’m in and I’m ready to be a traffic cop ’cause it’s going to be busy out on the business superhighway with this stuff. Champion stuff again from you!

You summed it up correctly. “THIS STUFF WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!”….aint that truth!?

Hi Marcus, Thanks for the free ebook. I know the Hubspot info will be beneficial for me. I saw your blog listed on a post of must follow blogs. I was delighted to see that at least one from the list is part of the CommentLuv movement.

Cheers!!

Murray, your passion is refreshing brother. Just keep that up man and you’re going to do some really, really awesome things.

Werner, so kind of you sir. Yes, that’s exactly the goal. Instead of stumbling around, it’s all there for Noob’s.

As for aWeber, it seemed to be the one with the most positive reviews from other bloggers, and most of the biggest names seem to use it. But hey, all unchartered waters for me my friend. 😉

Have a wonderful weekend Werner,

Dude, I don’t think I got your email. Hmmm… Could you send it again bud? Sorry if I missed it, but I really don’t remember seeing anything come through.

But thanks a million for your kind words and support regarding the eBook my friend. You’re awesome!!!

Farnoosh

Hi Marcus, I am on page 100 and I have enjoyed it greatly so far — you are amazing – I don’t have time here to praise you as much as I’d like but you are just a rock star…. But I do have questions for you: – When you say that people like to get all the posts via email, I totally understand but how do you manage it with an email newsletter? So when I first moved to Aweber from Feedburner, I was still sending every post to my list + an occasional newsletter. I noticed that it was too much and when I sent the posts, I saw more unsubscribes but when I sent the newsletter, I saw more opens and more subscribes, so then I moved to a model of sending the summary of posts. – On your page, I noticed now you have Twitter, FB, LI, and then the Weekly Mojo: Is that your “every post in your inbox” thing? If so, how do you manage that with the newsletter? Or do you maintain two separate lists? In fact, I believe I was getting your posts on my email but then moved to RSS. Then do those people who sign up for blog posts ALSO get the newsletter? THANK YOU for explaining this. I listened to Pat explain it once and I *think* he does *both*! Second comment is about CommentLuv. Boy, I had that plugin for a while but it gave me so many problems; I worked with Andy – the developer – to fix it and it doesn’t like my cache plugin. I just didn’t have more time to waste on getting it to work so I might go check it again. Do you use a caching plugin? Thanks so much, Marcus, keep shining, dear friend! Talk soon!!

October 8, 2011 at 8:53 am

Pushin and pumpin brother, and no letting up any time soon my man!! 🙂

Have a great one Eric and thanks for being one of my longest supporters over these two years. 🙂

Marcus

Marcus Sheridan

Yep, it is the truth my friend!

Keep rockin that inbound marketing my friend, and make sure you keep me up to date with your happenings. 🙂

Have a great weekend,

Marcus

October 8, 2011 at 8:56 am

Marcus Sheridan

Thanks Ileane! So kind of you and I’ve seen your stuff out there quite a few times. It rocks! And so do you 😉

Have a wonderful weekend!

Marcus,

Awesome stuff man! I am glad you got he ebook done! It looks awesome, I can’t wait to check it out.

Jens P. Berget

Hey Marcus,

I couldn’t believe it when I read the news about this ebook. My first thought was, how in the world does he have time to write an ebook, and more than 200-pages? But, then I realize what you’ve done and that’s even better. Your content is just brilliant, and when you add it in an ebook it becomes like pure fresh content again. Adding it together and in a structure makes it different. It makes it easier to understand, and it puts everything you’ve written in a completely different perspective.

Can’t wait to read it.

– Jens

Hey, Marcus, bless your heart! This will really help my marketing so that I can let those parents and kids who need my help for their reading problems find me and get advice and help. So glad I happened to catch your note on Facebook!

Thanks for all you do for we entrepreneur trail-blazers and inventors. Guess what? My business plan is WORKING!!! I’m so thrilled! Much of it is thanks to you and your info on content marketing. That’s when it really finally made sense to me. 😀

Love to you and the family, and I’m still hoping to meet up one day at Blogworld or another conference some time soon. 🙂

October 9, 2011 at 11:49 pm

Marcus Sheridan

This just makes me so very happy to hear Paula. The fact that I was able to help you even just a little get your business moving in the right direction is surreal. Really, I mean that. 🙂

Continued success and I hope the eBook helps even further,

Marcus

October 9, 2011 at 11:51 pm

Of all the guys and gals I’ve met in the blogosphere Jens, you’re easily one of the nicest and kindest people I’ve ever met. Seriously I mean that and just can’t thank you enough.

Thanks for being such a breath of fresh air always my friend,

Marcus

Where else and who else can give is such value? Marcus, you are truly amazing. Can’t wait to read about all the secrets of inbound marketing.

October 11, 2011 at 8:47 am

Eric Pratum

Thanks, man. I promote you in pretty much every inbound marketing or SEO-related presentation I give 😉

Farnoosh, my apologies in answering this late. Here are a few answers:

I plan of more of a Pat model. I’ll have blog subscribers, I’ll also have newsletter subscribers. My reason for both is because I want the newsletter to be very ‘hard core’ inbound/content marketing stuff, not all about personal development or ‘the blogosphere’ etc.

Will this strategy work? I’m not sure, but right now it’s the plan. The newsletter will only go about 1-2 times a month. Currently, the email form on the upper right hand side of the page is for blog subscribers by email, the ones that don’t use RSS, which are many.

Again, this may change, I’ll be doing experiments, split tests, etc.

Appreciate you asking the question Farnoosh and I’ll personally update you in the future as to the results.

Thanks again for being amazing,

Marcus

October 17, 2011 at 6:47 pm

Marcus Sheridan

Thanks Jimmy, really appreciate the kind words man.

October 17, 2011 at 7:44 pm

Farnoosh

Hi Marcus, Right, I know about Pat’s strategy. The thing is, to use what you used more or less in your blog post today, I just don’t know if people KNOW what they don’t know 😉 so they may very well want to be on your newsletter but coming here, if they see two mail box options, they may just not know. I always assume non-blogger, non-social-media, non-techie person visiting my blog and at least, the idea of newsletter is prevalent but hey, I love Pat’s newsletter and I do hope it reaches a wider audience this way … Thanks for getting back to me, dear friend. I knew you would!!

December 23, 2011 at 5:30 pm

I think you made a great move here. I’ll go check this out. Thanks!
